Thanks to the Pro-Formance Unlimited team.

I want to thank all of you, for your support and technical knowledge during this project. The engine is what you had promised. This is a perfect example of professional people knowing and delivering what they promise. There are not enough break-in miles on it at this time so I have not had the opportunity to let its tongue hang out just yet. These are the photos of the SS pickup with your custom built 454.

Hey guys:

A few years ago you built me a Pontiac 455 with 475hp and painted it midnight blue to match my custom '68 GTO. Not long after I installed the motor, a mistake I made damaged it. I pulled the motor out and brought it back to you guys, and you figured out the problem right away. You fixed it very quickly and were more than fair on the bill. My motor now has a few thousand miles on it and has given me zero problems. As you will see in my video, I like to have fun with my cars instead of just sitting them in shows. I definitely push this motor and it takes the punishment. It's a good thing rev limiters work. You guys are very professional, and it was a pleasure doing business with you. I couldn't be happier with the build. Thank you so much and merry Christmas!

Hello Kim,

I purchased a 347 ci stroker from you guys for my 2004 Mustang GT. I just wanted to share some pictures of my progress. It is pretty much done I got it started and sounds like I just woken up a BEAST! It was AWESOME and I'm loving it. I just want to thank the whole crew for a wonderful engine and I do constantly tell my friends where to buy if they ever need an engine.

Hi guys,

Well here is the final product of Proformance Unlimited & wow am I impressed. The car runs perfect & has great throttle response. I have done around 200 miles now & seems to feel better & better every time I turn the key.

There has been a lot of people at the recent car show asking about it & to say the least its been nothing but positive & very happy looks on people's faces when they look at what is under the hood.

Once again thank you to Steve & the guys for answering any questions that I had during the build on those early morning (Australian time) phone calls that we had & was a happy experience getting my 347 stroker built by Proformance Unlimited.

Steve,

I just wanted to say thanks again for taking the time to personally call me to answer my question on the oil type. You guys have been awesome!! From the purchase all the way to over 2 years later, you have continued to support me and you have gained me as a lifetime customer for my future engine needs!!

Hi Kim,

It took pretty much forever, but the shop doing major work on my hot rod finally finished everything up. I've enclosed a couple of pictures. So far I'm very happy and looking forward to future car shows. Many thanks to Proformance Unlimited for the excellent engine.

Hey Steve,

That 383 475hp is unbelievable. I can't believe it I have finally got it in the car going to send some photos soon. After 3 years I have finally got it on the road I'm extremely impressed that engine has more power than I think that I really wanted but it is very nice. I just wanted to say thanks again for all the help you have been and the quality you put in these engine's again I will send some photos soon I am already getting a lot of what kind of car is it. I got me a nice 3" exhaust on it and it is my dream come true thanks everyone at Proformance Unlimited you guys are the best in the business in my opinion!!!!!!!!!

Hey Steve,

First of all, let me apologize for taking so long for writing a review, as I am a busy man. But I wanted to take the time to comment about my 383 stroker blower motor. I was gun shy and apprehensive initially, due to not knowing you and with your company being so far away. I appreciated that you kept me informed through out the process.
Even upon delivery, I was still skeptical although Steve did everything he said he was going to do in the midst of getting hammered by Hurricane Sandy. With that said, I have now installed the motor, run it on several occasions and I am now the proud owner of one badass small block. I am more than impressed with the performance and workmanship on everything. I’ve been doing business with people for 30 years and generally there are problems, not with ya'll, this is a top notch operation. To say the least, I am very pleased.

Here are some pictures of my car and engine compartment. I bought the 461 Pontiac stroker 475 H.P. and you were right, this engine is just what this car needed: awesome power, sound and looks. The engine has a big lumpy idle ( which is what I really wanted ) and sounds really good through my exhaust system.
I also have the 3" electric dumps, talk about a nice sound, believe me I get everybody's attention, what an awesome motor. Thanks so much for doing such a great job building my motor. It looks and sounds fantastic . I will recommend your company to all.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to share these pictures and tell you all how much I enjoyed doing business with you. This is my first car I ever built from ground up. The engine (Ford 351w) you built me was beautiful and performs just like it should. The project was so much fun, I am going to build another one. You can look forward to getting another order from me.

I want to thank all of you, Steve and Doug, for your support and technical knowledge. The engine is more than I expected. Man what a beast! The guy that helped with the work on the car has 25 years of racing and building engines. For not being a blown engine, he said it's definitely insane! He drove the car and said it is unreal! He also said it is an excellent example of people knowing what they are doing. Thanks to all at Proformance Unlimited.

I can't thank you folks enough. I will recommend your company to all.
Here are a couple of pictures. A video is to follow soon.

Hello:

This is Thomas with Krawler's Edge, last year we had you guys build 408w for our customer Craig Pearlman. The both of us could not be happier with the engine. It is what you said it would be and more!!

Hi Steve & the rest of the team,

Well......it has finally come together.

The 347 stroker is in my '65 Mustang. WOW... what an AMAZING engine!!! Truly, you guys are awesome. I was expecting that this was going to be a pretty strong motor but nothing like the package that has come together. Incredible that it came off the dyno EXACTLY as you predicted! You said it would have 425hp and on the dyno, after a few tweaks (very little!!) it ran 425hp and put 316hp to the rear wheels. The dyno is one thing, driving it is another! This is a very quick engine! VERY QUICK. What an absolute weapon to drive. Very smooth, very snappy, very quick and very strong.

We had quite a few mods to get everything to work well together, thought you might be interested in our setup. I will forward some video and some pics in the next week. When I get a chance and if you are interested I will send through the specs on the bits we added. Basically we ran new bigger fuel line with electronic high volume fuel pump. I had a hand made 3-inch exhaust to the diff & down to 2.5-inch to pass the fuel tank. WOW, it sounds unbelievable. As per the plan I have kept the rest of the car as an original '65. I changed the rims to accommodate bigger tires but kept the hub caps. So from the outside it looks like the classic '65 coupe. Until........you turn the key!

At the traffic lights the whole car shudders from the amount of power and torque running through my old car's veins. Put your foot down and front lifts like a plane taking off. As you can tell I am very excited about the engine you built and I hope that you never tire of hearing from unbelievably happy customers!! I look forward to emailing some great pics and some great video footage that you are more than welcome to use as a testimonial.

Doug, Steve and the Proformance Unlimited Team --

Just a short note here to let you all know how pleased I am with my 302-380 HP custom engine by Proformance Unlimited. The engine runs great and is every bit of product you advertised it would be!! Quite the improvement over the original 289. The quality of parts and workmanship are evident in the resulting performance. I can rev it up to 5500 and drop it to idle with no hesitation. It's great to have that confidence of knowing that what's under the hood will be there when I need it (or just "want it"). It was a pleasure dealing with Proformance Unlimited from Kim at the front desk, to Steve in getting my sales order spot-on (yes, he did a great job in translating my non-technical specs to an engine configuration that met my needs) and to Doug who I watched build my engine via the shop-cam and starred in the delivery video. Thanks again guys (and gals). I'll definitely recommend Proformance Unlimited to anyone seeking a custom engine build.

Hi Steve,

I just wanted to let you know that my engine (Ford 363) and transmission arrived safe and well last week and I was able to pick it up Friday just gone. Everything went so smoothly and the engine is perfect!

I just wanted to thank you so so much for everything over the last few months - it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you and the business and I have already recommended you to people here in the Mustang Club as well as my friends!

The CD with the pics and the video of the motor were awesome! I just wanted to fly all the way over and give all of you a big hug!! You have made an Aussie girl's dreams come true!

Once I get my car back from panel and paint I will start to put it all back together, and will email you some pictures!

Thank you so so much again, and if there's anything I can do from this end of the world to help get your name out here, please let me know!

Hey Guys how is every thing going? My truck is almost completed except for the paint Job. Which will be Fire Engine Red Pearle………… I have put a few more thousand in it since I've brought it home from there, I wish I could tell you every thing I've had done to it but I don't remember. But there is nothing like the sound of that motor and exhaust, That you guys did for me. She will smoke them 50 series tire at a 100mph in third gear. This thing is awesome I will bring it down for you guys to see it this summer hopefully. Right now it gets about 6 miles per gallon. Maybe you guys can put NOS on it for me. You guys are GREAT…………….

Hello Steve,

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for the great engine you put together for me (347 stroker). I really appreciate all the time you spent answering my questions before and after the sale. You delivered as promised and then some. I really have enjoyed working with you.

All the folks who hear the engine run always comment on how strong it sounds. As we discussed I had the engine dyno tuned here in TX at C & S performance and they were able to tweak it up to about 390 hp to the rear wheels, which you told me equated up to 450hp at the engine. I only have about 100 miles on the car and really haven’t put the pedal to the medal yet, however I’ve been fortunate to own several Corvettes and a Porsche and this engine/car combination is far away ahead of those cars. It’s almost scary how much power it has, even though I’ve not turned it loose yet.
Here are a couple of photos for you even though I’ve not been able to get any really great ones yet. I’ve also included a picture of myself and the plane I told you I built.

Dear Steve & Crew,

I just wanted to let you know that I have been cruising in my 1957 Chevy 210 & having the time of my life. I have enclosed a picture to show you the end product!!!

I also am writing to thank all of you at Proformance Unlimited for the quality product & superior service you have provided me in the past 6 months. From the first call I made to your company to the day the product came to my front door. The only way to sum it up is EXCELLENT SERVICE & CRAFTSMANSHIP!!

If I need or know anyone that needs anything that your company can provide, I would highly recommend you!

Steve,

As you can see from the pictures, I dropped the motor in the 35 Plymouth. I am more than satisfied with the performance of the 383 stroker motor. It exceeds my expectations. From my experience with blower motors this motor is the most dependable and problem free turnkey crate motor that I have dealt with. The horsepower is amazing!! The car looks and runs outstanding. I want to thank you and your company for building me an outstanding product.

My next project is a 1936 Ford pickup, no doubt you will be hearing from me again.

Steve,

My name is Clint Booth. I purchased a 383-500 hp stroker. My 79 z28 had a 383, but the engine that ya'll built for me absolutely blows the old one out of the water. There is no comparison! I am more than pleased. Big thanks to everyone at Proformance Unlimited! You guys do amazing work!! I look forward to doing more business with you in the future!

To the Proformance Unlimited team,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for building such a tuff motor for my 1975 Holden Kingswood. It's a badass! I feel a little lonely, as no one wants to play beside me at the traffic lights. Also you guys were great when I had some technical issues along the way. You have successfully smoked the competition before the light even turns green.

Steve,

I have sent pictures of my 57' Chevy. The engine looks PHENOMENAL and sounds GREAT! I have people wanting to take pictures all the time and needless to say there is no engine like it or can even compare. Also, thanks for the good customer satisfaction

I just would like to say THANK YOU STEVE! I am above and beyond satisfied with the engine.

Hi,
my name is Paul Young. I ordered the 383 Stroker SBC while I was on leave from Iraq. I was given a 1986 Monte Carlo that has been in my family since it was new. I just got home and installed the motor this month. It looks great and sounds amazing, it fired right up. Without a doubt Proformance Unlimited makes the best engines around, truly amazing! I hope to send some more updates and pictures to you as I get it ready for the 1/4 mile, it's a work in progress.

I finally have the car 99% done and wanted to send you some pics. Thank you for a one-of-a-kind engine, man. You wouldn't believe all the compliments and inquiries I get on who built it, what a sweet motor, what's their contact info etc. I truly appreciate the work you did and the way everything came out!!!!!

Hey guys.

This is Lenny out here in North Carolina. I know its been a while since we spoke but I wanted to say the motor (Chevy 350) kicks ASS. I drove the car to Wilmington, NC which is about 140 miles to a place called National Speed and put the car on the Dyno for a complete tune. I have photos on my website the car blew out the damn observation window. I wish I could say it was because of the wicked power of the motor, but it was a stone. In any case, it was funny. The motor is a power house and I appreciate the assist with getting it to me during the installation process. Believe it or not, I just finally got 500 miles on the thing and I plan on getting about 1000 on it then back to the Dyno for a full blown tune on it and data. Again, you guys are the freaking heat I tell everyone about you when they ask about the motor.
Thanks again and have a great 4th.

On the '57 Chevy, it was 98 degrees outside when I drove the Chevy 120 miles to the Super Chevy show. The temperature NEVER climbed above 160. Idled for an hour in car show traffic in another show and never cleared 165-170. I NEVER felt like the motor would let me down. People are standing in the isles to see/hear this motor. They are walking in front of me to take my (the cars) picture because they hear me coming. I DON'T PULL IN UNNOTICED. I drive this car weekly and the response is great. Looking forward to the next project.
By the way, its been 15 months since the Bel Air was done and I drive it weekly (in good weather). I have not reached for a quart of oil yet (aside from normal changes). This motor solved my "old Chevy woes". No more worrying about leaking on my dad's driveway.

Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is still getting the engines they want. I have been running my '75 Pontiac TA with your 468/550 HP now for 2 years and what a blast! I am still having fun every weekend or whenever I get the chance.

I still check your website to see any new videos you have out and it looks like you are still doing well so that is a great testament. I am just starting to build a '73 Camaro and am still trying to figure out small block versus big block so I may be contacting you soon.
